York Films - SpaceFiles Ep 1 Sun

The Sun is our local star - a nuclear reactor at the hub of the Solar System. Each second, the Sun loses four million tonnes of mass energy that will keep the Sun blazing for another five billion years. Yet the Sun, overall, is no denser than yoghurt, a cauldron of incandescent gas spewing flares and prominences. Electrically charged particles stream from the Sun the solar wind. Twists in the magnetic field trigger gigantic ejections that turn the wind into a storm.
